The Beast asked me what couscous was because he heard it was healthy. Ive never had it before so I found this recipe and tried it.
Makes 4 servings.
3/4 C veggie stock or water
3/4 C whole-wheat couscous
1/2 C no salt added canned or frozen corn
1/2 C diced green pepper
1/4 C diced tomato
1 C Canned black beans, rinsed
1/4 C chopped green onion
1 TBSP finely diced cilantro (I used WAY more)
juice of 1 lime or lemon
1 TSP Cumin
Black pepper to taste
In small pot bring veggie stock to boil. Add in couscous, remove from heat and let sit with lid on for 5 min. Fluff with fork and then put in mixing bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients and toss. Let chill in fridge for 1 hr . Great to bring to lunch the next day. If I wasn't dieting I would add feta to this dish.
